I suck at show car stuff so help me. Lighter is better also it is a daily driver so not too low. Go ahead and photoshop if you want.

I am just looking to make it look a little different. The 2gn r/ts dont look different eneough from the standard neon for my taste.

if you want to take it easy get a nice lip kit , prefer carbonfiber get a carbon fiber hood and possible a truck with a nice lip spolier and springs and led tails......

if you want to go crazy well thats a whole diffrent story.

How much are you willing to spend is the question?

Well, there you go! That'll make a nice difference. You should get skirts though. It'd look a little odd if you got a front and rear lip and nothing in the middle.

*Edit* Tints always add a little something to the car.

I acutally like the 1st gen tails more than ours.. But the headlights on ours look 100x better IMO.

I agree with a few above...it depends on how much of a "show car" you want. If you want to go mild, I say carbon fiber hood/trunk, nice lip kit (DON'T go with SRT front unless you're gonna do some modifications to it that noone else has done...they're WAY too common), nice wheels with a machined/stainless lip, lowering springs/struts (I don't recommend 1gen RT/ACR springs...get H&R, Progressive, or Eibach), low-profile spoiler, shave side mouldings...bla bla bla. If you want a REAL show-stopper, then you have got to have LOTS of money and LOTS of different mods, so pick which one you'd rather have. I'm thinkin you wanna go with a "mild" show car, which is cheaper and much cleaner IMO.

to be honest, if i was to go back and do it all over again. i would have done the air ride first... lambos suck, but air ride is always fun... a little espensive, but there's no bagged daily drivers here, so its fun as shit... $2200 -/+ but its worth every penny

^^^ $1900 if you go through www.airbagsource.com. Thats about the same price of the high end coil overs. So it makes perfect sence for all those out there thinking of getting coil overs, to bag it instead
